The prestigious tournament drew 204 players, creating a prizepool of $1,897,200. For Clements, it was a symbolic victory since he won his first bracelet in the same format ($3K Omaha Hi-Lo) exactly 20 years ago.
The final day was under scrutiny from fans due to Phil Hellmuth's quest for his record-breaking 18th bracelet. Hellmuth ultimately finished in seventh, falling victim to a flush by Dylan Weisman in a crucial hand.

Clements entered heads-up against Weisman with a commanding 8:1 chip lead and quickly sealed the win. Interestingly, the newly crowned champion Clements practically ignored interview requests, rushing to take victory photos to make it in time for late registration in the $1,500 Mixed Omaha event.
